Our Core Principles
About CC-SMG
CC-SMG was built from experience and a clear understanding of what hotels need to truly succeed.
After over 30 years in hospitality, Dina Coventry saw a consistent gap across the industry. Strong properties and talented teams often lacked the time, structure, and dedicated sales leadership needed to fully maximize revenue. Many were operating reactively instead of driving strategic, results-focused growth.
At CC-SMG, we specialize in delivering results-driven hotel sales strategy, remote hotel sales support, and hospitality business development solutions designed to maximize revenue and elevate hotel performance. Our goal is to provide hands-on expertise that integrates seamlessly with your team and produces measurable impact.
From the beginning, Shawn helped build the company’s financial foundation, ensuring operational strength and accountability. As the company grew, Tasha joined to lead business development, strengthening client partnerships and expanding strategic opportunities.
With decades of combined experience, our leadership team brings deep expertise across hotel sales, financial management, and business development. We partner with hotel owners, management companies, and brands to implement customized solutions that drive revenue growth and long-term success.
Our approach is rooted in collaboration, accountability, and performance. Whether building high-performing sales teams, optimizing financial operations, or creating new revenue opportunities, we work as an extension of your team.
Today, CC-SMG continues to support hotels through remote sales, on-property collaboration, and strategic guidance. While the company has evolved, the mission remains the same: to deliver consistent, impactful results and help our partners achieve and exceed their goals.
